WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Please don't come with us; everyone will feel awkward if the boss is there, so I'm giving you an easy excuse to leave.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Mianzi (Face-saving) and Workplace Hierarchy

In Chinese workplace culture, the presence of a boss at casual outings often prevents subordinates from relaxing. Giving the boss a considerate excuse ('you dislike these events anyway') saves their face while excusing them.
